OPSEC - Navy Operations Security

Always keep Navy Operations Security in mind. In the Navy, it's essential to remember that "loose lips sink ships." OPSEC is everyone's responsibility.

DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.

DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

Comment by Joy125 (FC Mom) on June 2, 2011 at 5:56pm: Awww....thanks, Dianne! I know these past few weeks are probably the toughest (besides the first week) and I don't normally whine very much but I was getting letters every week and then it came to a screeching halt! She probably ran out of stamps or something! I'm sure there will be a letter soon.

Comment by diannep on June 2, 2011 at 5:51pm: no letters="I am so busy all of the time and then too dog-tired to write under the "red" lights after lights out, but you all are never out of my mind..."

Does that work for those of you who haven't gotten letters lately??????

Comment by Joy125 (FC Mom) on June 2, 2011 at 5:47pm: Thanks, pianomom! I guess I'm looking for justification for no letters...=(

Comment by pianomom1 (ship 11/div 203) on June 2, 2011 at 5:38pm: to joy125--earlier, somebody said they thought that they had the gas chamber and fire fighting, but then someone else said they hadn't gotten to that as of a couple of days ago. so i guess we don't know!

Comment by Joy125 (FC Mom) on June 2, 2011 at 4:55pm: Still no letter..........this is torture! It's been over 2 weeks since I've heard from her! Does anyone know what they are doing this week??? PIR 6/17, of course.....

Comment by Squeekerz on June 2, 2011 at 4:49pm: Aww. Well, hopefully they're talking anywho! :P

Comment by imajagtoo.ship09div207 on June 2, 2011 at 4:36pm: two more weeks till PIR, ladies!!!

Comment by KC'smom on June 2, 2011 at 4:36pm: Nope, no dungeons and dragons for my boy. He loves movies and books. Now that's my true nerd. But hopefully he can get to like DD.

Comment by Squeekerz on June 2, 2011 at 4:32pm: Did your son like Dungeons and Dragons? If so, then he's probably playing with him as we speak. LOL

Comment by KC'smom on June 2, 2011 at 4:28pm: Oh, Squeekerz, thank you for sharing your letter!! I am so excited to hear about anybody's bf/spouse/son/daughter!! I don't even care who they are, really! hahaha. But, reading your posts all this time makes me feel like I know him. Especially makes me happy b/c I know he is with my son!!! He is enduring so much, it's simply crazy. If your boyfriend leaves, then my son will be hailed as king!! hee hee. It's his decision, if he wants to come home - wouldn't blame him either way. 5 fractures is 5 more than I've every had in my 40 years. I have a torn tendon right now and I feel like I can't do anything. Thanks again for sharing the lettter. I hope he is hanging out with my son "KC"
